    Comparative developmental studies of two fungi forming Vesicular Arbuscular association with ginger and black pepper
    (2007-02-08) Manju Philip; Rohini Iyer
    Two VA mycorrhizal fungi viz: Glomus versiforme, an endophyte associated with black pepper, and G. multicaule, associated with ginger were inoculated in sorghum and in their respective native hosts to study and compare development in these hosts. In case of G. versiforme inoculated in black pepper and sorghum, hyphae, arbuscules and vesicles were produced on both hosts. However, there was delay in the appearance of vesicles in the case of sorghum. Developmental studies of G. multicaule in sorghum and ginger showed that the time of appearance of arbuscules and vesicles were similar in both hosts. However, the unusual appearance of vesicles in the stelar region was, confined to ginger only.
